Problem With Floor Mats In Us Is250

Hi all,

Not sure if anyone has posted this yet - apologies if you have - if not, hopefully UK models have different floor mats but as it's so unusual for Toyota / Lexus thought I'd post it here:

I had a floor-mat recall posted to me by Lexus ages ago (2.5 years?). It was conditional on the type of floor mat supplied (I seem to recall that it referred to rubber or plastics mats) and did not affect my IS 250 which had carpet mats that were well secured by hooks at the back edge.

I remember the early IS200's been recalled for the same problem as well.

Well I've got a 2005 IS250SE and for some time now I've had problems with the two clips which secure the mat on the driver's side continually popping out of the floor resulting in the mat moving around. I just read this same story about the US recall at the Sky News website and as it specifically referred to this fatal accident involving a Lexus this worried me

I therefore hope this recall will be expanded worldwide.
